Wednesday 11 February - Join Jonathan Bergwerk where this week he will be looking at the life of Anne Frank - Anne Frank - The Girl, the Diary, and the Legacy - Most of us feel we already know Anne Frank – the diary, the hiding place, the famous lines of hope. But how closely have we really read her, and what happened to her words after she died.  In this session, we will look at Anne Frank’s life and diary, following her growth as a teenage writer, thinker, and Jewish girl living under persecution. We’ll read her with care and curiosity – not as a saint or symbol, but as a sharp, questioning young voice.
